Mark: The Inputforms work done in the previous GSoC project should be reevaluated and presented tot he to the duraspace-gsoc list so that we can be refamiliarized with it. There may be significant recommendations in this area that emerge from GSoC 2011 - DSpace SKOS Authority Controls Project. More specifically, we may want to begin to rethink the level at which authorities and other sources like Controlled Vocabs and Lists are associated with the Metadata Field.  This might include creating a metadatafieldtype Domain model that is assigned to the metadatafield allowing the presentation to be refined to just be skinning one or more metadatafields with forms/widgets int eh User Interface.

I am open to ideas from the mentors to mould the project goals in a better manner. Apart from configuring the submission-workflow we can look for changes in the submission process which may ease the whole submission process for the end-user.

I have no other obligations this summer till August as I will be joining MS (Computer Science) course at Texas A&M university this fall. So I am totally determined to make this project a success and take it to the point of integration into the base Dspace code.  

Note

We will want to review this timeline in duraspace-gsoc to assure it is tractable.  I believe that the tasks outlined are a bit ambitious and we want to use caution in fixing them prior to having a mentor/student dialog about goals of the project.

Experience and background:

I am an engineering graduate from Institute Of Technology, BHU, Varanasi which has been recently converted to an IIT. I participated  in 2009 for Dspace in Google Summer Of  Code . My project was "Submission Enhancement".I feel the project was very much successful and I completed the DB management of input-forms. The wiki page of the project is at http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/Google_Summer_of_Code_2009_Submission_EnhancementsImage Removed.

The code is also available in the Dspace SVN repository at: https://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/sandbox/gsoc/2009/kejriwal/

As I have got much experience of working on Dspace I am pretty much familiar with the inner architecture of Dspace and it won't take much time for me to get initiated. I also have 9 months of work experience as a flash-developer at a social gaming startup -Oxylabs  in India where I worked on developing flash based isometric game to be launched on Facebook platform.I will be leaving the job by May beginning as I will join TAMU this fall. I have received SUN Certification in JAVA Programming and cleared the exam with 95% marks. I have also done an internship at Deutsche Telekom Labs ,Ben Gurion University,Israel in the field of data-mining which included coding in JAVA.
